Velvet Revolver-Contraband CD
I have to admit that I was skeptical when I heard that Scott Weiland, former lead singer of alternative/grunge rock band Stone Temple Pilots, was teaming up with the band members of Guns’n’Roses to form this supergroup. But this project brings out the best of both worlds. …
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD
The To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD is pretty representative of this extraordinary movie which starred Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Legazamo as drag queens. While not every track is a hit for me, several of them are.
The movie, and the CD, opens …
Muse - Hate This And I’ll Love You (Song)
Hate This And I’ll Love You is a song by Muse which is the final track on their debut record, Showbiz. The song opens up with a very melodic and calm sound which Bellamy compliments nicely with his vocals throughout the first verse. What I particularly like about this …
Ion Digital Drum Studio
It’s no question that I love to rock, but I’m not much of a drummer. The Ion Digital Drum Studio has been helping with that. This product is far more than a practice machine though. And the part I love about it, it’s only the size of a small …
The Flaming Lips - Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel (Song)
Maximum Dream For Evil Knievel is a song by The Flaming Lips and the third song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with Coyne shouting the vocals, I must say that right from the start, I think the Flaming Lips introduce far too dissonant of a …
Samsung YEPP MP3 Player
There are three things I love in this world, it’s art, clothes, an music! My ears love to hear the sound of music; the slightest beat just send tingles down my heart! I was last months that I realized that I needed a new mp3 player for my former …
Animal Collective - Daily Routine (Song)
Daily Routine is a song by Animal Collective and the fifth track on their record Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with an introduction that starts off gradual and then builds incredibly abruptly, the vocals violently enter the track with a melody which surprisingly doesn’t flow very well at all …
Duran Duran Live From London DVD
This magical show was filmed at Wembley Arena back in April 2004 and the DVD was released in November 2005. I bought a copy as soon as it came out and I have to say that I haven’t stopped watching it since. I must have watched it a million …
Album : Yes - Fragile (1971)
YES are another one of those bands that help to prove that the seventies was the creative peak of music as we know it. I’m not one of those people that thinks new music is bad, i just know that the expressionism in music is nowhere near today like …
Motley Crue : Red, White and Crue
Before the album was released, a few years ago, Motley Crue fans have so long waited for this group to return to the reunion. I am sure, this group would know what the fans wanted. Therefore, Motley Crue have returned with the album Red, White & Crue. This album …
The Flaming Lips - She Don’t Use Jelly (Song)
She Don’t Use Jelly is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fourth track to appear from their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although this album is filled with quite a lot of catchy songs, particularly the first two opening songs of the record, She Don’t Use …
Thinking of You Music Video by Katy Perry
“Thinking of You” is a music video by Katy Perry that, to me, signifies most of all that she has grown up as an artist. She has come a long way from her bubble gum pop roots of “I Kissed a Girl” and “Ur So Gay”. Thinking of You …
Hot Like Fire (1997) - Aaliyah ft. Timbaland and Missy Elliott
Aaliyah ft. Missy Elliot and Timbaland
“Hot Like Fire”
One In A Million
Blackground/Atlantic

Aaliyah follows up “4 Page Letter” with “Hot Like Fire” and, man, I will tell you right now, I have never ever seen so much red and…well… fire ever before in a video than this one …
Billy Idol - Billy Idol (Album)
Fresh out of Generation X, Billy Idol certainly hit the ground running with his eponymous solo debut. While I wouldn’t consider it his masterpiece (that would be his follow-up tour de force Rebel Yell), there are still a lot of great songs here which I still enjoy as immensely …
Metallica - Don’t Tread On Me (Song)
Don’t Tread On Me, another one of the more aggressive songs from The Black Album, isn’t exactly a song which I enjoy too much, and ironically, James Hetfield supports this. Don’t Tread On Me isn’t a terrible song, but it does sound slightly forced in my opinion and it …
“As I Am” Album by Alicia Keys
In my opinion, Alicia Keys is one of the most talented recording artists of my generation. She can sing, she can write, and she can play the piano. She can basically do it all. She has the sort of pure talent that makes her a great artist to see …
Call of the Wild (song) by Midge Ure
Call of the Wild is one of my all time favourite songs, even though I am not the world’s biggest fan of the singer in general. I do like a few of his other compositions, but this one really stands out for me. It is unfortunately rather hampered by …
Lil Kim (female hip-hop artist)
Does anyone remember when Lil Kim had all her real parts? The Lil Kim that I used to listen to had some nasty lyrics that were quite catchy. The memories I have of Lil Kim when she was with Junior Mafia and Biggie, was the female rapper …
The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Song)
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is one of the tracks from the White Album which I would define as being simply one of the most upbeat tracks throughout the entire record and one of the most cheerful sounding Beatles’ tracks which I’ve ever heard. Right from this description I would be assuming …
Bossanova, 1990 Album by Pixies
This album is amazing. Even though the two previous Pixies records were really good, this one was even better in some crucial respects. I think that what this album turned out to be is simply unpredictable, if you look at what the previous records were. There must have been …
Queens of the Stone Age (rock band)
By 2002, it seemed as if the sound of a lot of the mainstream rock music that I was used to listening to had begun to change. A lot of bands I would hear playing on the radio no longer had that distinctive post-grunge sound and more people were beginning …
Cosmonaut - At the Drive In
There was a time in the late nineties when indie prog music was making a sizable surge in popularity. With this surge in popularity came a huge surge in the quality of the music, as more and more bands were being noticed for their indie prog sound. It was …

It’s Me Again Margret
‘It’s Me Again Margret’ is another one of Ray Stevens many greatest hits. I sometimes wonder how he comes up with so many great songs. This song though is about a very important issue in our society. It makes it out to be funny but stocking can be …
Forever by Drake featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem
You’ll love this song forever! Yes, bad pun. But this song is really cool! The song, a little over 6 minutes, is addicting. Blast in on you iPod, hiss a “yes” when you hear it on the radio, play in at your party. I know I’ve been listening to …
Sepultura - Beneath The Remains (song)
“Beneath the Remains” by Sepultura happens to be the opening track for the suitibly named album “Beneath The Remains”. This album was released in 1989 and is hailed by many a staple in thrash metal history. “Beneath The Remains” being the first song of the album, sets the pace …
Deering Goodtime Banjo
An excellent choice for any beginner banjo player . The low profile neck satin finish and rock maple rim make this banjo a keeper . I began on a cheap Asian banjo , that offered a very hollow sound similar to playing in a a cave , for …
Freshly Ground Musical Group
The very first time I was exposed to the sounds of this Cape Town based band, I thought I was listening to the music of an international act, so good was the song —˜I’d like’, and when I later learned that it was a local group, my curiosity levels …
Bad As Me, 2011 Album by Tom Waits
I was waiting for you release by Tom Waits for a very long time. And I was very happy when it finally came. I really did not believe that Tom Waits is going to release another album and you can imagine how surprised and pleasantly surprised in the first …
Iron Maiden - Fates Warning (Song)

Muse - City Of Delusion (Song)
City Of Delusion is a track by Muse which appears on Black Holes And Revelation. Although I do not consider City Of Delusion to be quite as good as some of the other tracks on this record such as Take A Bow or Map Of The Problematique, I certainly …
“Good Life” (One Republic song)
I am without a doubt a fan of the group One Republic. Between they’re hopelessly addicting lyrics, to they’re catchy instruments and melodies, this group was destined to make it from the start. There latest song, “Good Life”, which is featured on the comedy, “Easy A”, is another destined …

Beat the Devils Tattoo 2010 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Even though I am a fan of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and listened to some of their albums as soon as they were released, which was certainly the case with their 2003 album Take Them On, On Your Own, and their 2005 album Howl, I actually missed the release …

Animal Collective - Doggy (Song)
Doggy is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their record Campfire Songs. Opening up with an acoustic guitar strumming pattern, the vocals join in the track pretty quickly but they unfortunately sound completely buried in the mix at the song’s opening. Because of this, the vocals feel …

Flyleaf
I love Flyleaf, they’re an unique rock band. Their song always rock my world. This song so I tought is one of pretty slow rock song, but with touch of Lacey’s voice this song feels different.
I got this single from download in the internet. First, I don’t know this …
Muse - Plug In Baby (Song)
Plug In Baby is a track by Muse which appears on Origin Of Symmetry. Along with Knights Of Cydonia, Plug In Baby seems to be one of the more well known songs by Muse, because it appeared on I believe Guitar Hero or possibly Rock Band. However, the difference …
311 - Don’t Tread on Me
311 is an alternative rock band that I think they are so unique and interesting. The genre that they play is not just alternative rock like the other band but also bring some reggae dance color in the music. Its make the song so atrractive and different from the …
